What is the statute of limitations for a boating accident?

Transcript:

Under Florida law the statute of limitations for suing a reckless driver of a boat is four years from the date of the accident but it’s very important for someone to know the difference between that statute of limitations and the statute of limitations under maritime law. The statute of limitations under maritime law for a tort claim must be brought within three years from the date of the accident and therefore it is very important to bring and file your lawsuit during the correct time frame.
